Steps to take to ensure compliance

Each year, approximately 28,000 injuries are caused by falling objects – the leading nonfatal occupational cause of injuries requiring hospitalization. Dropped objects threaten workers’ lives and cost businesses thousands of dollars in labor hours and repair costs. Tool tethers help increase safety and reduce the costs associated with injuries from dropped objects. With the new ANSI/ISEA 121-2018 standard, there now is a clear way to ensure all tool tethering products on your site meet the same design, performance and testing criteria.
